The new seven-year garbage contract is simply another example of the following: When public money is spent, common sense goes out the window.
Our Snohomish City Council knew 46 percent of the people were not satisfied with their rates, vs. 26 percent that were satisfied. Knowing this, they made no effort to provide us with a different provider, which may have lowered our rates. But to negotiate with a new garbage company wasn’t that important. Why? It wasn’t their money.
Spending $700,000 for ten acres on Ludwig Road is just another example of common sense going out the window.
By now, we see the “spending pattern” wisdom of the council. If you see this pattern, you can’t fix today’s problems by re-electing those who created them.
